I, Squidoo
October 15, 2008 | Leave a Comment
The first thing you hear in Squidoo is “Lenses”. Squidoo is a place where you can build Lenses which are like mini-sites. That is the best description of Lenses I’ve seen. Lenses have also been referred to as “web articles on steroids”.
Many people use Squidoo to write about their hobbies and passion, and internet marketers have found it to be an effective tool for branding and driving traffic. Personally, I like reading about Lenses that talk about using Squidoo. Like the majority of surfers, I am always looking for “How To” do things on the web, and the lenses I’ve found…. well, these people really know their stuff.
Creating Lenses takes some getting used to, it’s not really like using a blog where you can just click on post. You need to use the modules in Squidoo, you need to use at least 3 modules before your lenses get featured and show up in Squidoo search. The most important thing is to not put everything into 1 module, otherwise it becomes one long introduction. Use a couple of write modules, add some pictures, and your lenses will start looking good.
As always, good solid content is a must. No content = No value = No visitors. Good writing wins the day. People like reading everyday content with personality, so let your personality shine through. Write your bio, upload your photo, now you have a better chance of connecting with your visitor.
Squidoo has Adsense built in, and you can get paid or donate your earnings to charity. This is a nice touch, you can split your earnings and specify how much you want to keep and how much to give away. Although, I have yet to hear of anyone really earning from adsense on squidoo. Or you can load modules that displays Amazon products. Or put your affiliate links to your affiliate products, do product reviews or just write about stuff you’re an expert in.
Squidoo community are helpful and friendly. Sure, there are a lot of business elements in the community, but there are also a lot of everyday people who just love to share. Here is a list of some of my current favorites:

Michael Cheney Golden Thread
October 8, 2008 | Leave a Comment
I’m sure many of you have heard of Michael Cheney’s Golden Thread. He held a live webcam show yesterday, which I was not able to attend due to our time difference. You can see some case studies at www.GoldenThreadSite.com.
The reason I want to discuss this:
1) Michael Cheney spent 6 weeks creating this product.
2) Spots available - 500.
3) Cost per spot - $ 1,997.
4) Pay by installment - $ 2,200.
5) Total sales - Over $ 1 million.
Now that’s marketing! That is what top internet marketers do it, by spending 6 weeks on product creation, he stands to make over $1 million in sales. Of course, the work doesn’t end there, he still has to market the product but the hardwork is already completed in the initial 6 weeks. Even though Michael Cheney will still provide coaching calls, he also has other people providing support in US, Europe and Asia.
He chose a selected few people to test his product, provided coaching and when they have succeed in their internet sales, he used the test group as case studies to market this product. Done this way, he has very compelling proof that will have people reaching for their credit cards.
When top internet marketers talk about making real money by creating your own info products, this just drives the point home. Michael Cheney ensures that his case studies achieve results, and if you take a look at those case studies, there wasn’t that much work involved. It’s a true plug and play, fill in the blanks system. He calls it his Cash Cannons.
